I can’t believe Thanksgiving is this week! Normally I am very excited about celebrating Thanksgiving. I always look forward to celebrating with my family. I always enjoy being with my husband and our kids. I also loved celebrating with my parents when they could come to our house.

This year I’m having trouble getting into the holiday spirits. This is my first Thanksgiving with out my mom and it hurts me to know I can’t celebrate with her. My husband likes to remind me that we haven’t celebrated with her for the last two years. I remind him that even though technically that is true, I could still call her last year and the year before that. Those two years I could hear her voice and wish her a Happy Thanksgiving. I can’t do that this year. I am really feeling the emotion pain from that.

I know I have much to be thankful for this year and I truly am thankful. I am really hoping once Thursday morning gets here I will be in a celebrating mood. I really want to have fun this Thanksgiving with my husband and kids. I think at some point that day I will probably cry from missing my mom. I suppose that isn’t a bad thing and I know my husband will be there to hold me.

OK so with all that said. I really am hoping I have a Happy Thanksgiving (my husband says I should purpose in my heart to have a Happy Thanksgiving). I also hope ALL my readers have a very Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you all will have a great day with your families as well.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
